Play in Altavista

Play on 61 acres of parks

That's 61 acres of public ball fields, basketball courts, walking paths, picnic areas, and playgrounds. Parks & Recreation, with the assistance of the Altavista Area YMCA, maintain 5 parks in Altavista for the community to enjoy.

Play on the riverfront

Take advantage of our public boat launch, located right English Park, as well as nearby fishing piers. Or relax and just watch from the shore on our riverfront walking trails and picnic areas.
